Iphone Sat NAV what you using and is it any good ??
« on: February 22, 2010, 07:50:16 PM »
right last week i treated myself to a new iphone 3gs nothing wrong with my blackberry but hey i was bored so £453 later
i was messing with the new toy (anyway after 5 days i got my 3g sim card so were all good)

anyways back to the point - i was using Orange Maps on the BB pretty good never let me down, i called orange APPLE wont give them a licence for it on the iphone so no free sat nav

so i scanned about and the cheaper is NAVMII so downloaded it today so far so good £20 well spent gonna test it proper end of week with trip to Loch Lomond and surrounds

so what you using ?? and is it any good ??

I have Navigon Western Europe on mine.  Works very well imo.

Got me to the Nurburgring and back with ease and picked up all those hidden speed cameras on the E40  :whistle:

Only place I have had issue picking up satellites was in Wales (whilst running late for a friends wedding  :whistle: )

I'm using Navigon as well, they do frequent updates so it is always improving.  I've no complaints about it, works well. :thumb:

I'm using Copilot and am finding it to be pretty good.

I bought it early on and it was a bit ropey to start with but they have done a lot of updating, in a short space of time such that it now gives Tomtom a run for its money - especially when cost is taken into account.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it - with the proviso that the gps chip in the iPhone isn't as powerful as in a totally dedicated satnav such as Tomtom or Garmin.

I would choose Co-Pilot, i think you are paying quite a "name premium" to have the TomTom one.

I use it on my HTC Hero, and its realy good.

Be warned though, it eats your battery life, so make sure you get a charger. And when you choose your charger, buy online, but get a brand name, you really dont want it going bang in your car!
